LONDON — Stanislas Wawrinka took only 49 minutes to beat Australian Nick Kyrgios in the Aegon Championships at Queen's Club on Tuesday as he continued to bask in the glow of his French Open triumph.
The Swiss, who stunned Novak Djokovic at Roland Garros earlier this month to claim a second grand slam title, picked up where he left off in Paris with a 6-3 6-4 victory on the sun-drenched west London grasscourts.
Defending champion Grigor Dimitrov of Bulgaria also reached the second round, finishing off American Sam Querrey, the 2010 winner, 4-6 6-3 6-4 after bad light interrupted their match at one set all on Monday.
